Abstract

This paper reports on a text interpretation program for a minicomputer with 8K memory to facilitate modifying line drawings of faces. An interactive language is described that allows conversational dialogues between the user and image modification routines. We present an implementation that retains context during a dialogue and makes possible relational adjustments of facial features. Imprecise feature judgements issued by the user are used to modify images. Ambiguities encountered by the program are resolved by interrogating short term memory buffers and hash table data. Language and hardware features are combined by data structures that interface display processor instructions and requests generated by the interpreted text. The updating of these structures is discussed in terms of relationships between structure elements.
